The results of this year’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition are in, and we’re happy to report that Matchbook cleaned house. Out of the 15 wines entered into the competition, we walked away with 12 medals… including three Gold Medals and a Best of Class awarded to the Matchbook 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon.

It’s worth it to us. Stay tuned to see what we end up doing with this wine down the road. For now, check out the photos from yesterday’s work:
